The people own the roads."This deduction was made yesterday bySlason Thompson fromn figures collectedfrotm railway officials. The question wassuggested by the recent statentent of Presidlent Stuyvesant Fish that the stock of theIllinois Central is held by 8,647 stockholders, of whom an overwhelming majorityown less than too shares apiece.T Thirty-nitne of the principal railway coinpanics of the country representing o.7,64omiles out of the 202o,471 of single trackmileage in the United States respondedto Mr. Thotmpson's letter of inquiry. Thesegave the total number of stockholders ontheir hooks as 19t,387. This is nearlyequal to two stockholders to every mile ofrailway. The ratio on the Illinois Central,as given by Mr. Fish, is a little more thana to 1.Applying a to I as tne ratio approximated in the total, tile figures would show400,o000 stockholders in round numbers forthe aoo,ooo miles of railway in the UnitedStates as owning the $6,o24.aot,295 ofcapital stock reported on June 3o, 19oa.Assuming that the $6,iooo,981,669 foundeddebt is as widely distributed among bondholders, the railway ownership would appear to be in approximately 8oo,o0o hands.These figures, approaching the total of railway employes (t,189,315), do not represent the total of those interested in railway ownership. One official wrote:"These figures are for registered stock,but as many of these are bankers andbrokers, holding stock in their name forclients, the actual numiber of stockholders will be greater."The controller of one of the largest systelms wrote:"It is probable that the number of actualstockholders is twice as great as tile nuother of registered stockholders.""There also is the holding of railwaystock by insurance companies, savingshbanks and trust companies, extendingtheir ownership among thousands," declared .\lr. Thomlpson. "The accountingofllcial of one road stated that 19.86 percent of its share was so held. I.ittle stockill non-dividend paying roads is held bysuch institutions, but more than 55 percent of the railway stock in the UnitedSt;ates is now dividentd paying."In one way or another the people ofthe IUnited States own the railways of theIt'nited States, and somlething like .,ooo.ooopersons, through wages, interest antd dividenids, divide two thirds of their grossearnings of $m,726,38o,267 (1gou-'oa)among themt.

She finallystrutted around the yard half a dozentimes, each time crawling under a lowbush that was in the yard. Then she"sparred up" to a rooster, just as anotherrooster would have done.A nurse in the hospital where the childwas taken said that two or three daysafter she was admitted she would notspeak, but would crow and cackle andstrut around the room like a bantam.,\\hen put to bed she would perch herselfon the end of the cot and wanted to roostthere.-Sydney (Australia) Cor, Milwaukee Sentinel.Injures the Eyesa,"The trolley car," said a prominentoculist the other day, "Is the cause ofmore distressing and serious eye troublesthan all the other so-called abuses of ourover-civilization. It is true that we willmisuse our eyes in many ways, but theworse abuse of them is reading in trolleycars."In the steam railroad trains the motionis entirely different from that of the eleo.trically-propelled vehicle. There are fewjerks and false starts, and the vibration,owing to the weight of the cars, the solidity of the roadbeds, and the steady speed,is not particularly noticeable when reading.
